Q: What is the best Phyllis Reynolds Naylor quote?

"I used to think that when I grew up there wouldn't be so many rules. Back in elementary school there were rules about what entrance you used in the morning, what door you used going home, when you could talk in the library, how many paper towels you could use in the rest room, and how many drinks of water you could get during recess.

Shiloh Quotes

I remember how awkward it feels to start school in a new place where you don't know a single person.

Your heart pounds and your ears buzz and your brain melts and all you want to do is get away from that horrible noise. “Get up and walk quickly out the door and to your right,” said Mr. Dooley. “Do not pass go and do not collect two hundred dollars,” said Donald. I held my hands over my ears to drown out the fire alarm. Outside we stood around waiting for the bell that means we could come back in again. “Yay! The roof is on fire! No more school!” someone joked. “Anybody got a match?” said someone else. Mr. Dooley said that wasn’t funny. He said if there really was a fire, we’d be smart to know what to do.
